PoCAHONTAS AND HER SON THOMAS ROLFE.
One son was born to Pocahontas and John
Rolfe; he was named after a mutual friend,
Sir Thomas Dale, and it is this little lads
picture that appears here with that of his
mother. This picture is copy of portrait
now in the possession of descendants of John
Role in England and made originally for
Wide Awake. The curious earrings worn by
Pocahontas in this portrait are the kind that
were in fashion more than 200 years ago
among the kings and princesses of the Indian
tribes. These earrings are still in existence,
being cherished as momentos Of this beauti-
full Indian princess who saved the life of one
Engiishman, and forsook her own people to
follow tho fortunes Of this white man to whom
she afterwards gave her heart and hand in
wedlOck

KITCHEN PRESS

Much aid may be derived from the use Of
simple lever press, made on the principle Of
lemon squeezer It requires two persons,
however, to manage this-one to hold the
material In the bag or cloth and the other to
apply the pressure. The cut here given shows
how tho same press may DO arranged to be
worked by one person. One Of the halves Of
the press is hinged to piece of board two
feet long and fourteen inches wide, and set
upon a table with one end elevated in the
manner shown in the figure.
Such press win be found especially con-
venient among housewives who make their
own jellies and wines, as with its. aid the
juice may be pressed without either unduly
firing or staining the hands.

dictated an advantage in the earliness Of
the first pods of three to eight days. The
position of the seeds in the pods did not
appear to have any influence on the re.
suitant plants. A slight promotion of
earliness-three or four days-was noted
as the effect Of pinching the terminal
shoots. Mulching the soil lightly between
the rows of peas with straw retarded the
attack of mildew very perceptibly. August

dew, while unmulched rows planted at
the same time were entirely enveloped.

GOLDEN WAX BEAN.

Wick says of it: cts points Of excel.

advent will be hailed with satisfaction by
both market men and private gardeners.
1t is earlier than any other pole variety,
following ten days after the Dwarf Golden
Wax. The vine makes rapid, healthy
growth, bearing clusters of three to six
large pods of rich golden color. The pods
average about eight inches in length and
are exceedingly tender and plump. AS
the flavor is also delicate and the pods
stringless, it is not excelled as snap bean.
Unlike many pole beans, it is very pro-
ductive, continuing to bear, if the pods are
picked, until frost. The snowy appear

Items About the Magnet.

Fire irons which have rested in one position
in room during the summer months are
often highly magnetic.
Iron bars standing erect, such as the graf
ings of prison cell, or the iron ratings be-
fore houses, are often magnetic
The unper:nost of the iron tire round car
riagc wheel attracts the north end of a mag
net, aud has hence south polarity, while the
lower end attracting the south end of the
same. has north polarity.
Magnetism may be made to pass through a
deal board to exhibit which, lay needle on
the s..;ooth part above and run magnet
alor- the under side, and the needle will be
foanl to follow the course of the magnet. A
magnet dipped into boiling water loses part
of its magnetism, which, however, returns
upon its cooling.
A sudden blow given to a magnet often
destroys its magnetic power.

To Cure u Horse of Kicking.

the Endorsement Of a prominent authority
in such matters: "If you have a horse
that is in the habit of kicking put him in
narrow stall that has both sides thickly
padded. Suspend sack filled with hay
or straw so that it will strike his heels,
and let horse and sack fight it out Be
sure to have things arranged SO that the
horse cannot hurt himself The sack will
be victorious every time, and in the end
the horse will absolutely refuse to kick
the sack or anything else"

We say it is an imposition for man

person who gets rich by minding other
peoples business" In the first place,
an editor seldom jingles much money,
and those who get rich in the news
paper business are possessed of a bust
ness tact that is unparalleled But to
change the subject, an eminent writer
in the east says: Rum and journalism
seem to have been permanent divorced.
Here in the east, at any rate, drinking
is not fashionable among newspaper
men. A few of the old-time soakers
still hang upon the skirts of the pro-
fession, but they are dropping off one by
one into the gutter or the grave, and
before long their species will have be-
come quite extinct. The modern re-
porter is not hard drinker, although
the temptations to which he is exposed
are great, for wherever he goes there is
free liquor. Newspaper competition
has reached such point of activity
that editors cannot afford to employ
unreliable men, and the rising genera
tiOn in journalism is, for this reason,
sober, steady and industrious. In Bos-
ton there are very few drunken report

Ex Governor Pierce in the Pioneer
Press says: The laws of the last session
of the Legislature are coming to light,
through published volume, and the
people will have the opportunity to see
how many of them they have unwit-
tingly violated. Perhaps never before
has this clark age" between the enact
ment of laws for the territory and their
publication been so keenly felt as the
one following the late session. The
citizens of Dakota are law-abiding
people, hence their anxiety to know the
law. This quality of head and heart
should be encouraged rather than re-
pressed, and perhaps no better way of
encouraging It could be devised than to
furnish the means of knowing the laws
before they take effect. There is more
of moral question involved in than
one might at first glance apprehend.
After having unwittingly violated a
law, a person will knowingly violate it
with much less compunction
of conscience than he other
wise would. Even custom must have
a beginning, and the most offensive
and obnoxious custom may be pursued
until it becomes almost as fixed and re-
vered as gospel. We imagine the legis-
lative convention OF next year will have
something to say in their resolutions in
regard to providing the people with the
means of knowing the laws before they
are required to observe and obey them.
